SWEET & WHITE POTATO GRATIN



Sweet & White Potato Gratin image

This is a variation on the fabulous recipe in Williams-Sonoma's Holiday Celebrations cookbook. I made it a bit simpler by substituting cheddar for the fontina (not a really close substitution, I know, but I'm so much more likely to have it on hand, and it still tastes great!), replacing the fresh thyme with dried, and adding a French-fried onion topping instead of breadcrumbs, which adds a lovely flavor. I prefer goat cheese to the feta myself, but feta works just fine if you can't find the goat cheese. By the way, as an Italian, I am pleading with you NOT to use the canned powder masquerading as Parmesan cheese! The bagged, pre-shredded cheese I'll allow, however! :)

GRATIN OF SWEET POTATOES



Gratin of Sweet Potatoes image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     casseroles, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
Salt to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Peel sweet potatoes and slice into rounds 1/4-inch thick. In a saucepan simmer milk, cream and garlic about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are barely tender. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Rub a baking dish with one tablespoon of butter, and dust with three tablespoons of bread crumbs.
  • Season potatoes and cream with salt and Cayenne pepper. Spread mixture in baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and remaining bread crumbs, and dot with rest of butter. Bake 30 minutes, until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for this gratin. They are both starchy potatoes that will hold their shape well when baked.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the gratin a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Serve the gratin immediately. It is best when it is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

This So-Cal Sweet Potato and Potato Gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Serve it with your favorite main course, or enjoy it as a snack on its own.
